well, they were right he didn’t realize that his guys are much much worse
After a look, the neon is used in excimer lasers that provide a light source for lithography systems. This is not the first time this has happened to supply in Ukraine, so semiconductor companies aren’t completely unprepared and have stockpiles they can rely on for a while, some number of weeks anyway. They’ve also developed their processes to capture and recycle used gas, though ofc they don’t get back all of it.
The neon is a “buffer” in the laser system, where the reacting gasses (Kr and F or Ar and F) are present in smaller amounts. Helium is used instead of neon in some systems. I assume there are good reasons you can’t just swap in helium for neon. Too bad, although we also have a helium supply crunch, helium is cheaper and the US is the world’s biggest supplier.

i don’t think anything went up to Trump
putin going WHAT RUSSIANS LIED TO ME???
is the cherry on the lol russia sundae
I don’t think Putin realizes we REALLY spend 700 billon dollars on our military. Even with inflated prices not 700 billion that is really 35.00 billion.
Well shit. Don’t know if this is good timing for propaganda, or bad.
STRONGLY ADVISE TURNING DOWN YOUR SOUND.

Not only GOP. Don’t forget Comrade Tulsi.
Yeah the US must be really confusing alone. Completely divided country at almost polar opposites. But he failed to take into account, politically, America 100% supports war and the war machine.
Oh good I was wondering how this could move out of Europe into Asia more generally.
No mention on NBC nightly news. We must be some nervous Nellies
That wasn’t his exact take, and given the current situation with Russia, and the likelihood that global destabilization played a role in that happening now, it wasn’t as bad of a take as most of us thought.

Military supply convoys coming into Ukraine are legitimate targets and nobody should be surprised that Russia wants to hit them. Will be an issue if they hit them in NATO airspace but I expect most is coming into Lviv over ground and that Ukraine controls the airspace between Lviv and the border using those new weapons.

Notice he’s taking the gentle approach with the guys with the guns.

Sure seems like a good time for those Belarusian officers who were relieved of their command to start an uprising.

Hertling has been pretty cautious from the beginning. Over the last 10 days he’s gone from “Well the Ukrainians have been pluckier than expected, but Russia’s still probably going to achieve their goals” to “You never want to underestimate your enemy, but…”
